It's my birthday! Let's have a virtual party!

On Thursday July 27, I'll be 36. And it's funny, while I'm back here in the USA, I've caught up with a few old friends that I haven't seen since I was a student!

It's great hearing about their adventures. Some have traveled to places, lived in different countries. We talked about things we've done since we were younger, friends we've unfortunately lost, and things we want to do in the future.

Birthdays, like conversations with old friends, are great times to think about how far we've come, and where we hope to go in the future.

Colleen, my roommate from college! It was our 1st time seeing each other in 15 years!

For my birthday, I want to ask you one favor. Just one.

In the comments, can you tell my how Speak English with Christina has helped you?

Maybe you got a new job after an interview in English, you had the confidence to start a conversation in English, or you understood some little aspect of American culture better. Maybe you just enjoy the episodes each week!

Please tell me about it! This is all I want for my birthday. Your stories are the reason I have my dream job.

I read all of your stories. Every week. And this week, it's extra special to me.

Let's celebrate together!

Talk to you soon!

Hello, this post for saying Happy Birthday! I have an English maybe good enough -though not perfect and you never finish learning a langage- but I enjoy watching your videos from time to time. Thank you for your pleasant lessons!
As for your lesson on receipe with dirty rice and beans, it was interesting though I am rather a veg. Some good tips to remember such as smashing a few red beans for the greavy. Thanks to your friend!

Happy birthday Christina.
It’s always a pleasant moment to see and listen to your lessons. It’s like a relaxing time, due to the energy you give us perhaps !
and, in addition, we improve our capacity of earing native english speakers, talking like in the life (and not like in a school book written for foreign who hope to learn English langage !).
Thank you very much, Christina
and enjoy your USA stay.
Best regards,
Monique

It’s with a great pleasure that I wish you on Happy Birthday Christina!
I’m so happy to have you as a professor to improve my english.
After one year to follow you on internet I finally began training with you. And each courses with you I don’t see the time passed.
I have no complex to talk with you. I’m feel more comfortable.
Thanks for all Christina and Have a very good day with your friends and family.

My name is Claude. The most important thing to do with learning american-english or another language is to have fun with the words. To reply to Véronique Buffet : let just have fun with english, let have pleasure !
I have three american correspondants since a couple of months, and the beginning was not easy ! so don’t give in. I don’t speak the perfect way, it doesn’t matter.
I watch Christina’s lessons and many other on the Internet. I learn each time and each day some new things. I’m a french guy. Happy birthday teacher Christina and take care. God bless you, and thanks for everything.
